Throughout the current console generation, Microsoft has released a ton of different custom and unique Xbox Series X|S controllers. Joining the line-up next is the Pulse Cipher Special Edition controller – featuring a throwback translucent design.

Making the announcement on the Xbox Wire Blog, Brianna Lowder – the Marketing Manager for Xbox Accessories – said “Introducing the newest iteration of the Cipher series, Xbox Wireless Controller – Pulse Cipher Special Edition! Like its predecessors, Sky Cipher and Ghost Cipher, Pulse Cipher provides players with a nostalgic transparent look infused with a futuristic twist. Despite being third in the series, this controller is special in its own right.”

Set to arrive in early February, those interested can go ahead and preorder the controller right now for £69.99 – slightly more costly than a standard controller (£59.99 RRP). That said, there’s no denying that by now Xbox has a strong line-up of special edition controllers.

Of course for a relatively basic video game controller, £70 is a pretty penny to spend – especially as the accessory does not include gyro aiming, advanced haptics or anything of the sorts.

Still, for those who miss the classic days of transparent controllers during the PS2/Xbox era, the red Cipher special edition should more than scratch that itch when it arrives next month.
